I keep replaying every strike i had today on the bait today thinking of what i could have done different. Im sure if i wouldn't have snapped the hudd off i would of caught my first hudd fish and a couple other nice ones. When i always walk over by there this time of the year i always see that same school or one with similar sized bass in that same area chasing trout but ive never had a large swimbait with me to throw untill then. What really freaked me out was not sure if it was a carp or catfish but this HUGE white tail came out from under the dock with big long sweeps and then went back under quickly. Whatever it was it looked at least 50 pounds. A fish that made my knees shake today was when i casted along the dock and my friend i think is messing around with me just starts freaking out saying theres a bass at least 15 pounds darting at my bait from under the dock and i go haha ya right and then my rod gets ripped out of my hand and i see it flash. I look up at him surprised and he just looks at me like i told u so u should of listened. If i wasn't so pissed off i would have enjoyed seeing a video of me go crazy today but for now i just want my hudd back. I better get a job i dont have enough money to pay for a new hudd today and i dont want to order one online and stand by the door waiting for it to get here so i can go fish it.
